When he gets to the last champion on lol.
“Why no one plays lol”
As much as that sounds like a great idea the dash. Imagine him in pro play he would become pick or ban as the slight damage reduction would be nothing for that mobility in team fights.
to his ult AP increase arm an mr, and last for 3 sec after. E, increase + ms to 3 sec, add sends out 2/2/2/4/4 additional balls of lightning, can jump to other balls each one time, when jump all the balls arc lightning between each other dealing dmg. AP increase ms, act duration an atk speed. make him mana champ. he is suppose to be an assassin, meaning surprise/ burst dmg
Yeah his e is kinda ballsy u basically have to make sure ur e is the final stack of ur passive so that u can run away before a let’s say Darius or renekton can cc and trade back
dude kennen is broken at level 6 kennens ult can destroy its insane
He needs a rework. Make him a lil beefier, and make him a melee champ. Not a ranged one.
League of Legends, a game where champions aren't picked because they're too balanced.
Still waiting for Why no one plays Veigar Day 47
they need to make a naruto skin for kennen lol boy straight naruto runs nonstop xD
kennen suffers from nerfs back when it was good ad carry pick
12:04 Me who took old Freya to mythic in ML: cuz I can afford to.
I play kennen mid so..
Neeko's release completely killed Kennen's career imo, shes kennen but with a better engage and a shield on her ult, plus everything is instant, i switched to neeko top from kennen and havent looked back since.
Interesting thought. What if slicing maelstrom actually sliced.
Let's imagine kennen hangs a large shurikan on his back. His ult would be a bit like Sejuani ult or Ekko q.
After throwing it, and on first contact with an enemy, or after traveling a set distance, it explodes, doing much the same effect, but now in a smaller area, and a damage nerf for the range.
It continues forward at decreased speed, traveling an extra 75-150 units (scaling with rank). Ends with thunder clap. Shurikan reappears on his back when his ult is off cool down
His E just needs to be a short cool down dash, or like storm spirit in Dora that lets you dash as long as you have resources, then move some power off W since I’d say his W isn’t super crucial to his identity. Ideally I’d love some major changes to his ult to be a little less binary, allow kennel players and enemies to do more with and against it , but that would probably get a lot of backlash
Vampire Kennen: Hail of Blades, cheap shot, eyeball, ravenous. cut down and alacrity. attack speed. mr and armour.
Shieldbow, bloodthirster, berserker's grieves, sanguine blade, bork, phantom dancer. gg
Max W gives 100% bonus AD.
Vars sounds like a typical silver player
I wanna use kennen cause he is like zeus but SMOL and Ninja
Kennen does really need a rework ,thats for sure
Hes a neeko with less options.
he's not bad, just needs a team that sinergies with him and he can be the star of the match. The thing is, you are talking like if league was a 1vs1 game or a 2vs2, and that's far from what it is. It's a team game and therefore you need to team up in order to win. A vanguard doing it's job and paying attention to the clamp it generates and you're done, back to looby with a win.
He is mid lane not top
Poke and 🏃♂️ simple it works
Perfectly time q
i used to playkennen a lot in my rank games when i was in silver back in S8, i quit playing kennen, i am now plat/diamond. This champion has really weak wave clear, no sustain in lane and his auto range is really short. Now when i see enermy side having a kennen it is just free win, any bruiser that rush merc thread boots can just win by walking straight up and smack kennen's asss.
5:21 Morgana? Annie? Nunu?
Uuuuh, I absolutely build deathcap on Kennen. I go mid, take dark harvest, protobelt, boots, deathcap, void staff and I 2 shot people. Kennen wins team fights. I kill Trynd so fast he doesn't have time to ult. Q, W, dead. Sure it's a slow safe start but it pays off mid to late game. Make sure you get your farm and if you know who to focus, it's game over for the enemy team.
I read this as why no one else play kennen and i thought its because im to fast no one else can pick him
Those poor souls that never got to play spellbinder kennen.
RIP spellbinder
Neeko syndrome.
I am a Kennen Main myself, but I don't like toplane and I am not good enough to play against like an irelia or something. So I just took kennen midlane and made yasuos suffer. Nobody expects the insane damage and cc kennen can do with his full combo with ult and rocketbelt. I think it's sad, that kennen is so unpopular but at least that means nobody picks it and nobody bans it.
Well this video didn't age well
I personally love the explosive duality of champions like Kennen, and here's why:
1 – As both a mage and assassin main, champs like him are the only ones that allow you to enjoy both the long range safe neutral game of a mage and the explosive all-in of an assassin.
2 – The duality of his kit makes room for a certain trickster mindset when playing, and there's nothing better than out of the blue just suddenly exploding the face of that pesky other player that spent half the laning phase disrespecting you.
All in all the Kennen archetype is a hard one to find and removing that duality for a more "intuitive" mainstream playstyle would leave a lot of people without anywhere to go, I think.
Champs like Kennen don't need to be super popular, they just need to be there for the dedicated few that love them in a way they just can't love anyone else.
Maybe give him a blink tho, take Alice from Mobile Legends who has lissandra blink (ik mobile moba but please stick with me)
Give him more resistances and defenses
